They usually separate the vegetation debris (trees, etc), demolition material and garbage. The trees and such get piled up locally in parks and other public properties awaiting mulching. The rest goes to the regular land fills and temporary Mt. Trashmores.

Not always, and usually not in the near future. 10 years after Andrew there were still piles, very large piles of debris stacked up on lots right in the middle of Homestead. During Charley last year wiped out the town of Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda. After a year of rebuilding there are still piles everywhere. The landfills couldn't handle it and can take only so much at a time. They burn alot of the debris but then enviromentolists complain of the pollution the smoke produces. The wreckage will be seen there for years and years to come.

That's quite possibly due to FEMA money being cut off. That happened here last year. The city didn't want to do anything that wasn't federally subsidized.

With all the money pouring in why not buy brooms and cleaning supplies and hire those outside of the superdome? You got it bud, you want money? Go back in and clean it up.

It's dirty work but then they can begin on the rest of the city, a block at a time working with the city, state, whatever. They need work, the young and strong, man or woman, just like back in the depression. People jumped at the chance to work back then. WPA and all the rest of the projects. Many still exist today with a marker.

So lets put these sunburnt individuals to work.

They could make work camps rather than refugee (oops, can't call them that, it is evacuees.) sites. Why let em all sit around and compain about the rations?
